Vivalytic

Vivalytic brings innovation to the Molecular Diagnostic testing market. It is the result of a collaboration involving Bosch, the German technology giant, and Randox Laboratories, a global IVD company. With over 35 years experience in assay development, Randox is dedicated to improving global healthcare.

 

Vivalytic enables sample to answer, cartridge-based Molecular Diagnostic testing. The Vivalytic platform is capable of both Hi-Plex and Lo-Plex testing. Nucleic acid extraction, PCR amplification followed by a suite of detection methods are combined in a truly revolutionary, fully automated platform. Manual preparation, cold chain reagents and the use of multiple devices are no longer required.

No further peripherals such as a laptop, keyboard, barcode scanner or filling station are required, making Vivalytic a unique space-saving, hygienic solution for Molecular Diagnostic testing.

Vivalytic Cartridges

Vivalytic cartridges are compact, technologically advanced Molecular Diagnostic tests utilising micro-fluidics to enable simple and accurate diagnostic testing. Vivalytic cartridges are powered by a variety of technologies, dependent upon the test application. Hi-Plex and Lo-Plex tests can be analysed on the Vivalytic. Hi-Plex tests utilise Randox patented Biochip Array Technology, enabling end-point qualitative PCR and providing multiple test results from each sample. Lo-Plex tests are based on a variety of detection methods including real-time qualitative PCR and melting curve analysis.

• All Reagents On-Board
• Room Temperature Storage
• Multiplex Technology
• Multiple Sample Types
• Minimal Contamination Risk

 

Hi-Plex Vivalytic Cartridges
Powered by Randox Biochip Array Technology

Biochip Array Technology enables sample to answer multiplex Molecular Diagnostic testing. Every biochip-powered cartridge produces multiple test results from each patient sample. The intelligent, chemically activated 9x9mm ceramic biochip acts as a solid phase reaction surface.

The biochips are pre-fabricated with spatially discrete tests regions (DTRs). Each DTR represents an individual test and each biochip can contain up to 44 DTRs. Each DTR can be occupied with oligonucleotides specific to a pathogen of interest. The Hi-Plex capabilities of Biochip Array Technology eliminate the need to run multiple time consuming and sample intensive PCR assays.

The biochip detection system is based on a chemiluminescent signal. This is the emission of light, without heat, due to an enzymatic chemical reaction. The light emitted from the chemiluminescent reaction that takes place in each DTR is simultaneously detected and quantified using a Charge - Coupled Device (CCD) Camera. This CCD Camera simultaneously records the light emission from all the discrete test sites on each biochip. The Vivlaytic automatically generates a result report for all targets.

 

Vivalytic Workflow

4 Easy Steps for Optimised Workflow

Intuitive engineering of Vivalytic ensures the analyser is user friendly. The process of patient sample to result comprises a very simple 4 step workflow. To begin the test, the user scans or enters sample information. The cartridge code is then scanned into the embedded Vivalytic software. The user then adds sample into the dedicated cartridge slot, closes the lid and inserts the cartridge into the Vivalytic. The touchscreen display will countdown the time remaining to test completion. Results will be displayed on the screen. Multiple Vivalytics can be wirelessly connected allowing the user to control multiple tests at one time all reporting to a master Vivalytic platform.

Vivalytic Up

Vivalytic is a versatile analyser suitable as a stand-alone platform. Alternatively, it can be transformed into a modular and expandable system. Stacking of the analysers provides the user with a scalable, flexible and space saving Molecular Diagnostic testing solution. Vivalytic Up offers a multi-slot, random access testing platform allowing the user the ability to use one analyser as the master user-interface that communicates with the other analysers. Integrated cable management is available allowing just one main power cable to power up to 8 analysers at one time.

 

Vivasuite

All Vivalytic analysers can be connected to Vivasuite, a valuable device management system. Vivasuite is the digital Vivalytic ecosystem allowing you to reduce service cost and ensures clarity of your systems. Vivasuite runs on the Bosch IoT Cloud and applies the highest standards regarding IT security and data privacy. Functionality of the Vivasuite includes registration, device management and automatic software updates, giving the device administrators an informed perspective on the usage of the devices.
